You are so brave to be condescending on the Internet. The classic holier-than-thou “earn my vote” position is another loser mentality. If we apply that standard to both campaigns, we can clearly see there was one person trying to earn votes. And that person lost. I’d argue Kamala should have been tougher and demanded votes.

I understand your feedback and I apologize for my tone. I just cannot get on board with the idea a more progressive campaign would have garnered any more votes. The proof is in the pudding. New progressive challengers failed at taking down any Democrat stalwarts in their primaries. Even worse, progressive incumbents struggled to hold on. It’s important to call out that these problems in races existed months before Harris even entered the scene.

That is why I see the anger at Harris as misplaced. If more progressive policies were the true desire of voters, it would have shown in the primaries just like in 2018 and 2020. The winds were out of the sails.
